The tie-up links Stargate’s unified liquidity pools to NEAR’s solver network, which has processed more than $24 billion across 34 chains and over 125 assets.
Stargate Finance is connecting to NEAR Intents to handle selected cross-chain swaps and routing, linking Stargate’s unified liquidity pools with NEAR’s solver network. The setup lets users specify the end result they want, such as swapping USDC on Arbitrum for USDT on Optimism, while competing solvers determine the route and execution path in the background. That means users do not need to manually choose a bridge, liquidity pool, or intermediary steps. For Stargate, whose liquidity has historically focused on stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, the integration extends access to NEAR Intents’ routing infrastructure. NEAR Intents has processed more than $24 billion in cumulative cross-chain swap volume across 34 chains and supports more than 125 assets. The pairing also fits NEAR Intents’ broader expansion push after integrations with Sui in July 2025, Starknet in December 2025, and aggregator (service that finds trading routes) LI.FI in February 2026. Stargate launched in March 2022 with unified liquidity pools designed to move native assets across chains without wrapped tokens.
